Diabetology and Endocrinology
Outline
Our department has a new structure as of January 2022. We are committed to promoting basic and clinical research to help diabetic patients lead a life equivalent to non-diabetic people. It is crucial to prevent complications. We will advocate for early therapeutic intervention to prevent cardiovascular complications and microvascular complications such as nephropathy. Moreover, we must aim to preserve and improve patients' quality of life through their diabetes care and treatment. As for research methods, continuing basic research using conventional mice and cells is essential, and we will actively conduct ethically-sound human studies to build evidence useful in daily clinical practice. In this process, we will apply various advanced clinical examination techniques and make full use of data analysis using digital devices and artificial intelligence in line with the current era. As a clinical department of a private medical university, we will continue to promote challenging and rewarding research for all department members.
